Andalusia: Southern Spain
Cycle from scintillating Seville to captivating Cádiz
Your tour begins in Seville, a vibrant, charismatic city drenched in spirit-enriching sunlight for most of the year. Not far from here, you’ll research another jewel of Andalucia - the hilltop town of Carmona, holding churches, palaces, and an imposing Arab fortress in its city walls. You’ll spend your second night in this former fortress - The Alcazar - though it is now known as the Parador Hotel.
A beautiful ride among the plains brings you through fields of grains, sunflowers, and olive groves towards the quaint town of Montellano. From here, you’ll enjoy cycling among the Mediterranean woodland, along the River Guadalete, towards another legendary hilltop city - Arcos de la Frontera - which is considered one of the most photogenic towns in Spain.
Along country roads, you’ll cycle to the heart of the Flamenco tradition - Jerez de la Frontera, a town also famous for its Andalusian horse dressage and sherry wineries. On the final tour, you will be treated to exquisite views of salt marshes near Puerto de Santa María. Here, you will be able to eat wonderful, fresh seafood. Your journey ends when you reach the spectacular sand beaches of Cádiz, where you’ll enjoy a spectacular, modern Parador.
